Mother of Killed Son Begs For Peace Amid Unrest in Anaheim

26 Jul 2012

Genevieve Huizar: “To the public, to the citizens of Ana drive, we want to thank you all for your support. – We understand your anger. We stand by demonstrations that are peaceful. We will stand by and march with you all in a lawful manner. Not one family member of mine was there at city hall yesterday. I do not like the violence that is occurring. Please remember to honor Manuel peacefully- I watched as my son took his last breath. I watched as his heart stopped beating for the last time,” Huizar said, sobbing. “Please, please, please stop the violence. It’s not going to bring my son back, and this is the worst thing any mother could go through.”
